Solo Building A House In The Woods 

It gives you 21 days to finish the laundry room before Freddie gets home

Don't forget the flowers when she comes back and a little note on the bathroom mirror 😀

"Can We Build It? Yes We Can!" I am 68 years old and still love Bob the Builder...but...now I have upgraded to "Da jungleboy"...aka...ROD the BUILDER!--YOU Sure Can! Best wishes to you and Freddie on your mountain home build.

I absolutely love how you never quit and always find clever solutions ❤ Roger is either giving Freddie a temporary cold shoulder, for leaving him, when she gets back, or he will be all over her like a rash. Please film their reunion ❤

Love how you got the drywall up yourself. Good thinking and problem solving. Before you know it your Love Freddie will be back and you will be picking her up at the bus station. Love how you keep yourself busy so that you won't feel lonely and help Roger to not feel so lonely with out Freddie. Until the next one be safe and prosper.

Love the color of the drywall boards. Hello Freddie. We miss you. Hurry home.

Have followed you from the beginning, when you built your little A-frame tree house. You've come a looooong way, Rodrigo. I appreciate your warm personality and love for animals. Thanks for sharing your amazing life!

How excited would Freddie be to come home to a new functional laundry room. 😊 Your doing great Rodrigo. Poor kitty missing his best friend 😞

Try wet sanding. It cuts a lot of the mess down from the dust. Sponge water and bucket is all you need. You can still finish the wall with sand paper but by then you will have the bulk of the heavy stuff removed.

You will never be alone all the animals to keep you company your house is looking great your hunny is gonna be so happy to come home 😊

If Freddie comes home to a finished laundry room & a working washer & dryer the happy on her face would be priceless....

It’s ok Roger we ALL miss our Freddie! She’s going to be SO excited to be home with you and happy to have a laundry room. So keep helping to get it done!!!Looks like there’s going to be another Moo Moo in your lives soon ❤ 🐈🐶🐓🐐🐮🐍cats,dogs, chickens, goats, cows and sneaky snakes oh my! Love you guys!💕

It’s hard working alone. You’re doing great!

Rodrigo, I have a suggestion that might help you to clear under the house while staying safe. I used this method when I was clearing out my house basement in places I couldn't reach. Take a strong, ( 1x2x10 or 12) long peice of Lumber, nail some long nails or screws into 1 end so that they only just pierce through to the other side and the nail/screw heads are above the wood sticking out like prongs. You can use the pronged end to grab the items you want to drag out without having to be under the house and in danger of being bit by the snake. Be safe!😊

I adore Rodger 😻 befo. You know Freddie will be back, and Rodger will be super excited to see you.

That was Genius. putting that board up there to help you 👍 👌 👏 😀. Your doing a fantastic job. I miss Freddy too. ❤❤❤❤. Love from a short fat old lady from Michigan.

Rodrigo, I love how you always jury rig (hace McGyver) solutions so that you're able to work alone or do things easier.

Yes but think about when you have finished the work and your laundry is done, the surprise on her face and the love in her eyes when she knows her man you Rodrigo has completed all the work and how beautiful it looks to 👍❤

Hi Freddie!! I hope you're enjoying your time with your family in Germany. ❤

You made great progress….its really hard by yourself, I know😉 I tiled the floor in my whole house 1300sq. ft by myself🤦🏼‍♀️😜

I'm all in for the cowmance🐮❤

The Laundry is really coming together and beginning to look like a room now.Your doing great it won’t be long before she’s back.At least she will be surprised by how far you have got to giving her a dream laundry room.Your a good Lad.Sending Love to you both 🥰

It says you uploaded this video an hour ago but I just recd it several minutes ago. I like how all the women push for the laundry room to be done before Freddie gets back, and the guys compliment you on being a problem solver. I think the guys are fair. It takes courage to take on new projects, getting disappointed by hindrances but yet never giving up. I think Freddie likes that quality about you. Stay the course. 🎉

Hey Rodrigo just a little tip after you make the first cut on your drywall and you bend it make your second cut from the back so you're not cutting through the gypsum

Be carefull using the cutter on the floor, everytime I'm afraid you may damage the tiles! The support for putting up the drywall by yourself was very smart! We all miss Freddie but she will be back soon

Proud of your progress Rodrigo in Freddie's absence 😢. You are doing a great job! Freddie will be happy!

WOW you get the he-man of the year award. Putting up that dry wall by your self. Nice job! Freddy will be so happy when she comes home. AAWW Rodger misses his Mommy. So cute!

Subscribe-it’s FREE…show your support 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

For the high points in drywall make yourself a T bar support out of wood make it to the width you need and 1/2 " shorter than height sonyou can straighten the T bar up amd it will press thr drywall up and the 2x4 wood will be against the floor.

Rodrigo the builder. Can he do it? Yes he can!

I would love to see some Germany clips from Freddie. 😊

You did a great job figuring out how to get those pieces on the ceiling!! Good morning in the morning, my salute to Freddie! Hugs from 🇨🇦

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's good and your reunion will be epic.

You should also always take your tape measure with you when you go to a hardware store. even planks are sometimes not the thickness they indicate. ✌💙💙💪

You need to make a closed upper cabinet in the kitchen to put all that clutter in the kitchen counter away.

I think we all miss Freddie - but it will be awesome when she comes home to a brand new laundry room!!

Your house looks fantastic can’t wait till the next video

Looking great. I wished you posted more than once a week I cant seem to get enough of your build :)

It seems like cat says „Nein, Freddy“ in the end 😂😂😂 he doesnt want to go to bed without her

Love watching my two favorite people vlops

Your doing a great job Rodrigo. Keep it up my friend ❤❤ I love the animals and Freddie too

Gracias

You need to clean everything out from under the house and get rid of it this way you can see the snakes

You are amazing! Great job, Rodrigo!

Good morning guys! Love from Utah ♥️

Boy people can be so critical of others. Both of you, enjoy your time away. Love that you are working on the laundry room. Love your animals. Looking forward to the next video. Time flies when one keeps busy!

"Hope both sides of your pillow is warm" is the best thing I've heard and I'm stealing it 😂

Keep on going…🎉

You and Roger will have things all done and ready for Freddie. You are doing a great job ❤

Stay strong, Rodrigo!❤❤❤ Drywall is looking good👍🏼👍🏼 Freddie will be home soon and she will be so happy to see the finished laundry area💜💜

Make a T post from wood and wedge it between the floor and ceiling to hold up the drywall

Great to see you both! Hi Freddie, he is working hard while you are away!

Todo Bien ❤ Rodrigo ❤ Saludos de Worcester Massachusetts 🎉 Bibi ❤️🙏 Pronto llega Freddy ❤

I like the color of the drywall

It’s good Rod to pour your heart like this showing how much you miss Freddie. It only makes things stronger and better.

YOU are doing a great job! It's meditative working alone sometimes. I have the feeling it's like remembering when you first started on your own, with friends and many, many days alone, now you have someone to look forward to! Love your videos! Keep it up! XX

Looking more amazing all the time. You are doing a fantastic job.❤❤ love watching you and Freddie and the fur babies!!

Good job!! Before you know it, your laundry room will be complete. The snakes would be a deal breaker for me, please be careful. All of the stuff you have underneath your house is inviting to snakes. Freddy, I hope you are having a grand time in Germany.

Rodrigo, one of the reasons you are able to build your own home is your always positive, can-do attitude. Way to go!! Many Hugs, Krista

Rodrego. The pipe is 2" inside the fitting has to by slightly bigger so it fits over the pipe. Silly Billy. Keep going your will get there.😂.

Love the view from the big window ❤❤❤

The house is looking Great and what Rodger wants is to be petted and love more because he is missing him mommy so love him

Pipe, is always measured from the inside diameter, and then there is a schedule number that determines the wall thickness and that also represents the working pressure of the pipe. Tubing is measured on the outside diameter and then there is the wall thickness in the USA it is measured in thousands of an inch or sometimes with decorative tubing it may be measured in gauge thickness as in sheet metal such as 16 gauge (1/16 inch) or .060 thousandths or .120 (1/8 inch) wall. Generally pipe is used for carrying fluids and so the I.D. Is the important information, where tubing is structural and the strength of the section is what determines the size and wall thickness.

Good job Rodrigo .. you got this 👍 blessings 🙏

I, do over 26 years. 4:20 up. And work at 6:00 Am. It's 3,6 km from my house. It's a discipline. Greetings from Bunschoten-Spakenburg,

Rodrigo, I love your beautiful heart and amazing soul. You are such a gem and so real... Don't ever change the way you are ❤ I love you and Freddie together you compliment each other's strengths and balance out your weaknesses... What a Beautiful Partnership you have. I'm Missing Freddie already but like you said time apart can be really good for couples... You are doing Amazing Rodrigo, keep up the great work my friend... Love and Blessings to you All 🙏❤️🙏🏼

What a great job!!! Amazing!

You will get it done. Don’t worry

Good job Rodrigo!!!

You are doing a great job and I love the blue color of dry wall in the laundry room!

Why don’t you put in a gravel driveway to your house? Where the little river was flowing would be perfect!! That way you can drive directly to your house and not carry supplies so far downhill! Makes sense to me! Freddie will be so excited to see the laundry room finished when she returns!

You are doing great!

For ceiling drywall, make a wooden T that is 1cm shorter than the wall and lean it up against one wall. Place the drywall on top of the T and lift the other end. The other way is to screw in a piece of wood across one wall 2cm below the ceiling. Place the drywall on that wood while lifting the other end. At the end, remove the screws.

That is so funny because the color of the drywall looks like the color of your fridge so you should take a color of the drywall take it to the store and try to match that color so you can paint that wall in the dining area the same color

Ok skip the sanding, level good on drywall, use scraper to get it close on raised spots if need be.. then get wire size of coat hangers, about 6 to 10 would be good fold them inhalf fold the ends back 1 inch from the ends towards the center, now on the middle fold wrap that for a handle, electrical tape works good, dip the bent ends into drywall mud and touch the wall in different spots close together then use a scraper to do your own knockdown....it looks good and works well too! No Sanding needed.

Your doing amazing. Can't wait to see it all.

That yellow hoodie looks amazing on you! You look good in Yellow!😊

You are a “get’er done” kind of guy! Freddie is going to be so pleased! Did I ever tell you that you are also a MacGyver. Placing the ceiling board was genius. 😅

I worry about you cutting anything on top of the tile. But my young man, you rock! I love your work ethics. Come to Alaska some day. Fall is a great time for local vegetables and very fresh salmon.

Freddy is really going to like your progress

get a 2 and a half hole saw. screw a piece of ply wood scrap over the wrong size hole. center the pilot bit and redrill the new hole

Hey Rodrigo happy Sunday i know you missed Freddie and so am i but she will be back soon love how the house is coming along

Hey Bobby! You made a LOT of progress! Just keep inching forward and soon you’ll have it finished. 🎉🎉 Also, be careful! No snakes, no dropping things on yourself, no starving!! 😊 It’s nice you have this focus and the ability to consider this a gift to Freddi for when she returns. It’s a nice way to focus on what’s to be in a few short days ❤❤

Don't forget about the hole for the dryer vent to outside! Looking good! Hard work Rodrigo! Hi Freddie!

Great work on the laundry room.👍🇨🇦. Yes we miss Freddie❤

Love that the music in this episode sounds like Leverage!

Could you use a two inch pipe in the hole but use the bigger one above and below the smaller two inch diameter pipe? Use a heat gun to make the pipe pliable, then quickly connect it before it cools. Rodrigo, you're doing such a great job!!!

Love watching the progress it is so inspiring!

The wall was no problem: "Easy". You are a qualified builder, welder and a plumber. (Master Jack). You could open your own business. "Maintenance man". Keep up the great work.

❤ Freddie is a great help but you can do it.. be careful..looking good.😊

Rod, do not forget to clean the house before Freddie comes home or you will definitely be in trouble!! We know Freddie likes a clean house 😂😂

I follow a lot of vloggers on You Tube, all of them talk a lot and show us little of what you build with the exception of individuals, show a little more what you build or restore because I personally watch because I am interested in what you build and not how it is built, I already know that and many others I think agree. Good luck to everyone

Hi Rodrigo The laundry room is looking good You're getting a lot done by yourself. Thanks for letting us say hello to Freddie. Wishing you the best. Stay safe . Yes messing around a snake area is a no-no 😊

“Can we build it?.. JES we can” 😂 so cute

Next time you have to drywall a ceiling make a support. Take a 3 ft piece of 2x4 and attach it to the end of a long one to make a T. Cut the long one so that it's just a little longer than the height of the ceiling. You can jam it on the floor with the short piece against the drywall to hold it while you screw it on

Rodrigo, The term Soffit generally refers to the area under the roof. By definition it gets a little more muddy, but lets not go there. In general construction usage, the term "Soffit" applies to all of that wood you put up there because, on your "A" Frame building, the "Roof" goes from the peak to the ground. RenoRoger General Contractor

You’re doing a great job! You two are my favorite blog to watch. The house is looking amazing. Keep up the great work. Watch those snakes. You guys need a work shop attached to the shed. Perhaps up the road. 😊

Will be glad when your a team again, we all miss Freddie but I’m sure not as much as Roger and you!!

You are doing exceptionally well, you’re good man🎉😊

My late husband and I were together almost 27 years and we were together every possible moment we had. For 10 years, we had a business together which was our dream come true. We loved being together. It was a complete change when he died.
